Antiwork

Early 50s coworker honestly believes a 22 year old employee at his small grocery store has saved $100000 working there for minimum wage. He was ranting today that all of the restaurants in town have “help wanted” signs up and no one will take the jobs because they’re receiving $600 a month from the govt. I had had enough of listening to his bullshit so I said to him there is a simple solution to the problem, just offer to pay the workers more fucking money. He went into a long rant about how he “knows better” because he’s a small business owner blah blah blah and he’d have to increase prices even higher if minimum wage went up, its $11.50ish here, no one would shop there anymore and he’d have to close. I informed him that less than 9% of Canadian workers earn minimum wage, prices are going up…

I am softly looking and put my resume out to two companies. I then was out of state for work meetings at corporate and both wanted 1 hour video interviews to assess and go to next steps asap. I couldn’t make that happen given my work schedule and time zone differences within 24 hrs and told them I would love to when I return to my home….and both replied back that they have moved on to other candidates. Crazy.

What do you all think about the situation? Can we get leverage out of this?

So I started working at this place and it pays $16/he which for me was a massive jump coming from $12 right before the pandemic started. Now one of the things my new coworkers brought up is pay. One said he makes $14 and to be honest I can see why he does cause he's extremely lazy and barely gets any work done so I think it's fair for him but the other guy does a lot more than me and he only makes $15. Now both of these guys have been there for 1.5-2 years so a lot more time than me and they're definitely getting underpaid. The one who makes $15 I think clearly deserves a raise but idk how to tell him without putting myself in danger of losing my job. I really need this job to pay some bills and especially my school debt for the…

So we see a lot in movies of bank security, armor guard security etc risking their lives to fight off robbers. And in the recent post on the apple store robbing, what would you do if in a more serious position than protecting phones? I want to know if there are people out there who genuinely would risk their lives for their current employer (maybe the wrong sub, but I assume there are also people who are currently happy with where they are because of the way we think). Something to ponder on, and hopefully have a good spirited debate.

The back of house manager was on my fucking dick today. The phone rang twice and she told me, harshly, to answer it, when I was physically away from the phone helping another customer. I said I was ‘fucking working on it.’ And she then told me I was fired and to leave. It came down to me being wrong for speaking to her that way, even though she had been bullying me and picking on me all day. Saying things like she thinks I’m bi polar, I need to take medicine, I should see a dr, etc. my mom died not even a month ago. So yes, I snapped and cussed. But why are you trying to micro manage and control me answering the fucking phone? When I am literally doing something else? And then threaten to fire me for it? I told the GM how I felt, of…

I’m worried about being penalized because I moved towards the end of last year. My tax return estimate is suggesting I will only receive 50% of what I was expecting. Regardless…does anyone else NOT in the US have to guess on their tax return and will owe money if they submit the wrong amount? Insanity!

I just started this job I’m November, making 12.25(min wage is 10) so I’m making shit. This place is a Gourmet Market in Sarasota FL, I was unlawfully fired for 1. Hear say- coworkers who didn’t like me because I’m 18 (young) told the director I called them old bitches. (This store caters to the elite and elderly) I never called them any names but I was constantly berated by them. 2. A girl in my school who I became friends w while working there she is 16, I’m 18, we joked around a lot about being lovers and her calling me mommy but we both are in relationships. We didn’t do this openly in front of other workers, but apparently they said I made sexual comments to her… she denied ever feeling uncomfortable etc. 3. I have an only fans. Yep. The main reason they said was “I sell…

I went to a group interview, I filled out all the paperwork, accepting I might have hearing loss, diseases from working with meat. I was sent there by job provider which was 2 bus (40 mins) + a 30 min walk there (max is 1hr 30). I asked to go to the bathroom, she said you need an escort. Before i entered the building a couple of guys asked you hear for a piss test or an interview. I waited a copy mins because I was denied to go to the bathroom since no-one there to hold my hand. I said I'm going to the bathroom and just walked up and left. My job provider asked if I left on amicable terms… I said yes
